A/N – Thank you so much to those people who are reviewing and to those who are reading the story and not reviewing, please let me know what you think. I can't improve as a writer if people don't leave me feedback.

Two new chapters today as they're fairly short.

Chapter 13

When Chloe and Vince woke up the house was already buzzing with noise. Leon had found his skyline in the garage and was cursing whoever had been driving it "who the hell has been driving my car, they've changed all the radio settings" and Brian was trying to convince a very bubbly red head that rushing into Chloe's room wasn't a good idea. He was still traumatised from what he'd heard the previous afternoon, he couldn't put someone else through that as well!

"Come on baby, it sounds as if the kids are up!" Vince wasn't at all happy about being woken up. He'd been sleeping soundly, without any nightmares, when Leon had started cursing. Once he was awake he became aware of Brian arguing with a girl and he soon realised that he wasn't going to get back to sleep. If he had to get up then so did Chloe.

Chloe wasn't prepared to wake up – she was having a very NC17 rated dream featuring Vince and the hot tub – but Vince was insistent.

"Come on baby, please – the sooner we get up the sooner you can call Dom and tell him about the store and the garage." Vince knew that would get Chloe out of bed – she'd spent hours the previous evening ranting about how she couldn't wait to tell Dom that she was saving his family home and business from the bank – a stranger who couldn't be trusted was stopping the bank from taking the most important thing in is life away from him – it was going to be a very enjoyable phone call.

"I'm up, I'm up" Chloe practically leapt out of bed at the thought of calling Dom – she wasn't a vindictive person by nature but she couldn't wait to make that phone call. The only thing that would have topped it would have been to have told him in person but as he wasn't coming back to LA a phone call would have to do.

Grabbing one of Vince's tank top and a pair of boxers from the drawer she quickly got changed and ran from the room.. Vince couldn't get over the energy that she had in the mornings – it took her a while to wake up but when she did she was like a child hyper on additives. She reminded him a lot of Jesse – kind and gentle with huge amounts of excess energy.

Chloe ran down the stairs and leapt over the banisters narrowly missing on Leon who was walking past.

"Wow, girl – watch where you're going, you damn near killed me!" Leon hadn't heard Chloe coming and the 1st thing he knew about it was when she landed in a heap in front of him in the hall. Helping her to her feet and brushing her off he asked her "Are you always this chirpy in the mornings?"

"Hell, no she's normally a complete bitch."

Leon and Chloe both turned to see who had spoken – neither of them had noticed the pretty red head who was arguing with Brian in the kitchen.

"Katy!" Chloe threw herself at the new girl squealing with delight. "OMG, what are you doing here? What's happened to our place?" Katy had never come to the big house before, she hated the overwhelming sadness of it and preferred to live with Chloe in their own house.

"Nothings wrong, there was a phone call for you, some girl called Mia, said she'd been trying to call you for the last few days. She sounded really upset that you weren't there"

"The last few days - I've been trying to get hold of that bitch for the last 3 weeks." Chloe was livid, she'd called Mia every day for 3 weeks and she hadn't even answered the phone, but she got upset when she couldn't get hold of Chloe straight away.

"Give me your phone Bri, maybe they'll answer if it's not my number." Chloe knew that there was a better chance of them answering the phone if it was Brian's number, after all he'd already called Dom without any problems.

Vince knew from the look on Chloe's face that this wasn't going to be a pleasant phone call, she'd been angry when she was dealing with the Doctor at the hospital but that was nothing compared to how she was now.
